As political science professors at UBC, Kathryn Harrison and George Hoberg co-wrote Risk, Science, and Politics: Regulating Toxic Substances in Canada and the United States (McGill-Queens, 1994). They met while undertaking graduate work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Moving to B.C. in 1987, they were immediately struck by the differences in Canadian and U.S. risk regulation.
